February keeps getting stranger — The week on APN — Feb. 5-11

Confused hibernators — including some of our podcasters returning from their winter breaks — are waking to the world and seeing all sorts of disaster this week. Roads are blocked by slush and truckers, utility bills are sky-high, and everywhere you turn seems to be fully stocked with pink and red candy (surely a sign that an expensive commercial holiday is coming). It's enough to make you want to go back to sleep until the next round of boosters comes available. 

But, grumble not: Your pals at APN have got your back with a whole new playlist of episodes to accompany your weekend exploits. We highly recommend a handful of colourful crocus or tulip bulbs to brighten your space, too. (Or, if you can wait until Feb. 15, we hear there might be a big clearance sale on roses.) 

The “subscribe” button on the Listen Notes list below will let you grab a playlist of these for your podcatcher.
